The CarePlan Challenge is an inaugural initiative launched by the American Heart Association's Center for Health Technology & Innovation to invite developers, health technology innovators, and AI specialists to create digital solutions that transform preventive cardiovascular care, improve disease management, and enhance patient engagement.
The challenge was created to harness the growing momentum of digital health technologies and expand access to guideline-based cardiovascular care, as research shows more people are open to AI-supported health interventions when backed by clinical expertise and evidence-based guidelines.
Participants received API access to the American Heart Association's CarePlans, Life's Essential 8™ habits for heart health, and the PREVENT™ Risk Calculator, enabling them to build prototypes that integrate these science-based resources into digital health solutions.
Submissions were evaluated based on four criteria: Innovation & Creativity (uniqueness of approach), Technical Implementation (code quality and API usage), User Experience & Design (interface intuitiveness), and Clinical Impact & Relevance (potential to improve outcomes and alignment with guidelines).
The selected solutions include ConneQT's Guided Wellness Programs (mobile solutions linking daily tasks and biometrics), Porter Health (web-based tool for risk assessments and CarePlans), and OneVillage (women-focused virtual cardio-primary care platform with 80-day personalized pathways).
CarePlans are personalized care pathways designed to manage and improve post-acute and chronic health conditions, including heart failure, hypertension, and cardiac rehab, integrating science-based guidelines into digital health solutions.
These solutions help build heart-healthy habits, give clinicians more visibility into patients' overall health, deliver personalized risk assessments, create tailored care pathways, and drive measurable cardiovascular outcomes through integrated digital tools.
The inaugural CarePlan Challenge was launched in 2025, with the recognition of winners announced on November 4, 2025, in Dallas.
The challenge attracted applicants from around the world, including developers, health technology innovators, and AI specialists who created digital prototypes integrating American Heart Association science into their solutions.
Integrating Life's Essential 8™ (8 habits for heart health) and the PREVENT™ Risk Calculator (estimating heart disease risk) ensures these digital solutions are grounded in evidence-based guidelines and can provide personalized, clinically relevant care pathways for patients.
